Netgear Nighthawk R8000P Firmware Update
Firmware not updating manually nor via router web check option. Nighthawk R8000P Current Firmware Version: 1.4.1.50 Update Firmware Version: 1.4.1.62 I have attempted to update the firmware via the Ro...
I also was unable to update router firmware with the Nighthawk App, it would go for about 2 minutes, then fail, saying to "Try Again" later, which never worked. But it succeeded when I used a browser (FireFox) to 192.168.1.1 and chased it down that way.
Sorry for the delay. New FW uploaded. No issues here.
Was no different than any other upgrade. I didn't reboot or do anything special. Manual update from a system connected via ethernet.
1.4.1.62_1.3.22
Going to perfom my usual basic functionality tests now.
Streaming 5G on 1.4.1.62_1.3.22 all day. TV, XBox, Phones, several laptops...
Wireless performance is extremely stable.
Tested DynDNS
Emailing Logs
NTP
IPv6 Support
Connection to EX7000 extender also solid
All looks good. Pleased with the update.
Weird. Updating my firmware still doesn't change the version for me.
Greetings,
You are unzipping the file right? .. and pointing to the file ending in .chk?
Are you updating manually, and from a device connected via ethernet?
After browse to and upload.. Does the progress bar move from left to right... then the router should restart on its own. Took me roughly 2 min. Try from a different browser.
YEP, unzipping it, pointing to the .chk file and doing it manually from my ethernet connected computer!
